Some beautiful work! I bet you could fabricate a gas tank that would put Rock Valley to shame, and they build one heck of a gas tank!

Thanks,although I've never seen one of their tanks. I more than likely will be building a tank for my next project. Only problem is I don't have my next project car yet.You know.( Wife...babies....yada..yada...yada....)

Bracket for the air filter box. I found an old A/C bracket and added a couple pieces of flat bar. Added a reinforcement,a 1/4" thick top plate and hit it with paint and good to go.

Thanks guys.
I should be ready to install the TPI soon. I'm just waiting for some 4" rubber 90* and 45* elbows and an EGR valve solenoid.
I don't know where to find 4" corrugated hose to go from the air filter box to the rad support air intake fitting.

Got the air intake hose done and the filter box mounted. Just need a piece of 4" hose from the filter box to the rad support and should be good to go. ;)

Thanks cjtimp.

I dropped the tank and found some rust in there so I changed it for an 87  tank with the built in tray.Fuel lines are in and holding pressure. Whew!

Took off the crossover to install a metric stainless steel nut as the O2 sensor bung.

Almost done! Got a couple of wires to hook up ,throttle cable and a few other things to do before the trouble starts. I'll be throwing an EGR code as no one has an EGR valve solenoid.  They are back ordered from China. I guess they are too busy over there now as everything is being made there.GM is showing discontinued.

A couple of pics......

Ask your GM dealer to locate you one. I'm sure someone has one in stock they can UPS you. Or try a few bone yards. www.car-part.com

PS Looks great man!

Thanks guys.  :)

Now the fun begins.......  just turned it over and no start. I got to get my buddy over so he can turn the key while I check for spark.
How do I test if the injectors are getting power if I find I'm getting spark?......or any other method of how to start the diagnoses will be appreciated.  ??? ??? ??? :o :o :o
